A small, non-sterile, threaded rod with a slotted head intended to be implanted or inserted short-term in craniofacial bone (including the maxilla and/or mandible) for fracture treatment or for the fixation of transplanted bone chips and/or small grafts (e.g., during an intraoral bone augmentation procedure). The device may be self-drilling/self-tapping and is made of a material that is not chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes [e.g., implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium (Ti)]. This device is intended to be sterilized prior to use.
